Companies such as Google, Microsoft or Netflix could all save millions using RAYS compression technology. I bet 1 or more of them is already looking at RAYS, but I think with these bigger Companies the evaluation process takes much longer.
Considering the caliber of RAYS management team I suspect some really big things are on the imminent horizon. Guys with such a track record of success and accomplishments would not have got involved with RAYS unless they knew 100% certain RAYS technology was viable and in great demand. I am thinking they are busy working hard behind the scenes to take RAYS to the next level.
